Would have to be augmented beyond simple requests as illustrated below to also inspect
the packet for the mac address.  May be direct support in iptables and/or the support modules or could
ultimately call out to an external program (snarf?).

Another (1 minute this time) google, not sure about applicability (keywords deep packet inspection)

I'm not thinking that would work in the case of a relay agent - These packets would all appear to come from the relay agent and the relay agent would get blocked, not the end-user device.

IP tables can be made to work.  Someone is being dumb.

Here's A link from 5m of google;
http://www.wjunction.com/48-technical-security-tutorials/107901-linux-ddos-protection.html
http://www.infond.fr/2010/04/basics-6-tutorial-firewall-iptables.html

Form the 2nd source, seems approximately the same;

#9 allow 5 TCP connexion attempts
# with 2 per minuts frequency
#iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m recent --set
#iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --hitcount 6 -j DROP
#iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 3 -j DROP
